Brian Reuter Construction

On December 15, 2018 the contractor of Reuter Construction, Brian Reuter, gave me a Proposal to tear off my old shingles (two layers) and install the following; (1) ice and water shield and paper, (2)30-year Architectural shingles (Desert Tan), and (3) new ridge cap, boots, and metal. The Proposal also included a provision for clean up. On that day, December 15, 2012, I gave him a check for $4,350 to cover the roofing materials, with the expectation that I would pay him another $1,692 when the work was completed. On January 21, 2018 I received a message via Facebook stating the shingles have been paid for, but he could not do the work until his truck was fixed. He asked for the rest of the money so that he could get his truck fixed. He said the mechanic told him it would be done the first week of February 2018 and that he would be able to start on the roof at that time. On January 22, 2018 I gave him a check for the balance (rounded to $1,700). I did not hear from him again April 23, 2018 when he shot me a text message stating he would do the work on the weekend of May 3rd. I responded (via text) asking him to start one weekend earlier because I was starting to see water damage. That text was ignored. I left him a voice mail on May 1, 2018 stating my roof was beginning to leak (we saw water on the floor). He came over the next evening (May 2, 2013), put up some tarp, and said the roofing would be delivered that weekend (May 3rd or 4th). As of this date, August 19, 2013, the work has yet to be completed and Mr. Reuter is not responding to my attempts to contact.
